Home Sale Hassles of the Rich and Famous

Anybody having trouble selling their home should take comfort in the fact that even celebrities are having the same problem. Here are some celebs who can’t seem to sell their houses:

• Jon and Kate Gosselin, co-stars of the popular TLC show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," have been trying for three months to sell their former home in Elizabethtown, Pa.
• Rapper 50 Cent has given up selling his mansion in Farmington, Conn., after dropping the price from $18.5 million to $14 million.
• Richard Gere and wife Carey Lowell have dropped the price on their home in New York’s Hamptons from $8.8 million to $7.2 million.
• Model Elle Macpherson cut the price of her London Victorian from $9.5 million to $8.5 million, and has since dropped it to $7.5 million.
• Star of "Real Housewives of Orange County" on BRAVO TV Jeana Keough, also a real estate practitioner, is facing foreclosure.
